Day Two – The Last One The day dawned bright, warm and sunny with a breeze – perfect conditions, and the kind of weather midges hate. We started the day (after breakfast of course) with a swim in the gorgeous sea. This was, of course, done in wetsuits, as although the water had a look […]
Read more "Scotland: The Outer Hebrides"Day One – Getting up and packing everything away to leave Skye was hard. I didn’t want to go, I felt as though I was leaving a part of me behind in Dunvegan. As hard as it was, I was intrigued and a little excited to see the Isle’s of Lewis and Harris. So we packed up […]
Read more "Scotland: The Outer Hebrides"I’m interrupting the Scotland posts to share my thoughts on what has happened over the past few days. Obviously the first thing that will come to mind for many are the horrendous Paris Attacks, which happened on Friday 13th 2015. Out of the carnage so far we know that 129 people are dead, with another […]
Read more "Events around the World."Day Three – This was our last day on Skye before packing up the next morning and catching the ferry to the Outer Hebrides – the Islands of Harris and Lewis. I didn’t want to go, and to make it worse day three was amazing was amazing, making it harder to go. The day started off […]
Read more "Scotland: Isle of Skye"Day Two – The morning started by being woken up by a strange rustling sound coming from the table where some of the food was kept underneath.Having previously heard my younger brother get up and walk about (he’s quite oblivious to the fact that tents are not soundproof), I assumed it was him, and so […]
Read more "Scotland: Isle of Skye"Day One – The day after Ben Nevis, still licking our wounds (metaphorically of course), we packed up and drove all the way from Fort William to the Isle of Skye. The drive, going through a lot of beautiful Scottish country (including beside Loch Ness and through Glen Shiel), was long, but totally worth it. […]
Read more "Scotland: The Isle Of Skye"Ben Nevis has it’s own post because describing the whole thing would have made the last post very long! Being a kinda outdoors-y family, we have done a lot of walking, but we had never done the highest peak in the British Isles, Ben Nevis. Having done Scafell Pike (978 metres) in the Lake District (the lovely Mickledore route… […]
Read more "Scotland: Ben Nevis"After leaving the hostel, we travelled to Fort William and set up camp in a lovely campsite, beside Lock Eil. Apon arrival my parents, who were told at booking in, told me that porpoises, seals and otters had all been spotted nearby. Now, being a major lover of animals, and avid photographer (with otters being […]
Read more "Scotland: Fort William (and nearby)"During my holiday to Scotland, I decided to write about each day – and I am glad I did. Looking back, I can remember all of the incredible moments and memories, and I wanted to share what I wrote. None of these will be edited, so some may be quite long to read… But I […]
Read more "Scotland: Inveraray"Growing up sucks. Like really sucks. I officially become an adult in a week, and I would really rather not. I feel like I’m meant to be ready for this, wanting it in fact. But in reality, I’m not. I don’t want to be seen as an adult, and while I will enjoy being treated […]
